About this listen
Some creatures exist only in nature. Others take flight across canvases, scrolls, and sculptures—forever captured by the artist’s hand.
The butterfly is both.
From ancient mosaics in Pompeii to the notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci, from Japanese woodblock prints to surrealist dreams, butterflies have fluttered through centuries of art—symbols of the soul, impermanence, beauty, and rebirth.
What draws the artist to this delicate creature?
How do wings become brushstrokes?
And what do these painted butterflies reveal about the way we see life, death, and everything in between?
Join Adrian Adair, The King of Butterflies, as we explore the story of butterflies in art history—an eternal dance between nature and imagination.
